LPN Pharmacology Questions

Question 1 of 5

The healthcare provider notes this rhythm on the client's cardiac monitor. The healthcare provider next reports that the client is experiencing which heart rhythm?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Atrial fibrillation is characterized by an irregular and often rapid heart rate, which can lead to poor blood flow due to ineffective contractions of the atria.

Question 2 of 5

When assisting a hospitalized client newly diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) to make appropriate selections from the dietary menu, which meal should the nurse encourage the client to select?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Fresh strawberries, steamed vegetables, and baked fish constitute a meal low in saturated fats and cholesterol, making it a suitable choice for a client with CAD. This meal aligns with dietary recommendations to support heart health and manage CAD.

Question 3 of 5

The healthcare provider is monitoring a client with left-sided heart failure. Which assessment finding indicates that the client's condition is worsening?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Bibasilar crackles are abnormal lung sounds that indicate fluid accumulation in the lungs, a sign that left-sided heart failure is worsening. This finding suggests that the client's condition is deteriorating and requires prompt intervention to prevent further complications.

Question 4 of 5

A client receives discharge teaching for a new prescription of lithium. Which instruction should be included?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Increasing sodium intake is essential when taking lithium to counteract the risk of developing hyponatremia. Lithium can lead to decreased sodium levels, so increasing sodium intake can help maintain an adequate balance and prevent complications.

Question 5 of 5

A client is admitted with an arterial ischemic leg ulcer. The nurse expects to note that this ulcer has which typical characteristic?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Arterial ischemic ulcers are typically characterized by being deep and painful, often with a pale or necrotic base. The lack of adequate blood flow leads to tissue damage, resulting in these ulcers having a deep appearance and causing significant pain to the individual. The other options are not commonly associated with arterial ischemic ulcers; a dark pink base, very slight pain, or brown pigmentation of surrounding skin are not typical features of this type of ulcer.
